  Hi,
  Where can I find how the user groups are defined? is there a Component for that?
 I Tried to set a user as Power User (2) and didn't work. I though I need to define groups or so.

May be you someone can help me with this. Is there a possibility to use a different Administrator Accound Name that "Administrator"?. Something like "Admin", It looks I can not change the Administrator account name in the Admin Component. What I'm triying to avoid is having an Administrator Account using the "Administrator" as name.

     Reto,
     
     There is a User Account component to add users and assign
     them to groups
     
     · cmiUserName = "FieldService"
     · cmiUserPassword = "password"
     · cmiUserGroup = "1"
     
     NOTE: User groups are DEFINED as:
     · cmiUserGroup 1 = Admin group
     · cmiUserGroup 2 = Power User group
     · cmiUserGroup 3 = User group
     · cmiUserGroup 4 = Guest group
     
     Hope this helps
